Question

You are dealt one card from a 52-card deck. Find the probability that you are not dealt a non-picture card.

Answer 1

Picture cards are Jacks, queens and Kings. There are 4 of each for a total of 12 picture cards.

52-12 = 40 non picture cards.

Probability of being dealt a non picture card would be 40/52

The probability of not being dealt a non picture card would be 1 - 40/52 = 12/52 = 3/13

Answer: 3/13
